New seat covers with (of course) pics
After seeing a couple of threads that featured people using neoprene seat covers I decided to upgrade myself. Got these from MAM and they seem very well made and are nice and snug. Figured I'd better get the car looking as good as I can because the Black Hills trip is only a week away and I don't want to give any of those "snub nose generation" owners any more reasons to bash our C4's....
What I started with...just standard cloth covers that seemed to work OK as far as protecting the leather but weren't all that appealing...
Drivers seat still in pretty decent shape after 20 years.
Covers as they came out of the box..
Only took about 30 minutes for the install (spent some time swatting at skeeters) and I need to adjust the velcro a bit but overall they fit very nicely and look one heck of a lot better than what I was using.

They look a lot better then I expected. Would you please comment on the manufacturer, where you got them and if you wish, the price. I'd like to something like this.
TIA

I ordered them from Mid America Motorworks and they're it's Performance Choice in house brand. Total was $221 with the shipping. The neoprene is nice and thick and it's very comfortable (with what little time I've had in them so far). Install was pretty simple, I moved the seat forward a bit, slid the back down and tugged it snug then I removed the bottom cushion and slid it into the bottom part of the cover, cinched up the velcro straps and reinstalled the seat cushion. The only thing with them is there's no slot or hole for the seatback lever to flip the seat forward, but the neoprene is soft that it's not really an issue at all. If I had known how good they were going to look/fit I'd have ordered some right after buying the car.
